Toy Aisle Trolls > The Devil’s Hands on Idle Playthings
Toy Aisle Trolls is a feature highlighting acts of vandalism to in-store toy items. If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe AT poeghostal.com. Also, please note: I’m deliberately being over-the-top with my condemnation of these people–I don’t actually wish bodily harm upon them. Just severe mental anguish.
Poester Magneto76 sends in this interesting little item. First off, the scuzzbag swaps not one, but two Hand Ninjas for a couple of the 10,000,000+ Snake Eyes produced since the movie came out. That’s already enough to make him one of the worst human beings ever to appear in T.A.T., but initially it does appear that he has some interest in actually trying to make the swap look realistic.
But then he flat-out steals both Wolverines’ hands.
Look, I don’t collect Marvel Universe, but why the hell would anyone want to do that? What is wrong with this person–besides the obvious? Is he some sort of serial killer in the making, collecting trophies from his victims? Is he working on a tiny kettle of hands?
Seriously, WTF. May his sticky fingers develop permanent jock itch. (Use your imagination.)

Jason Week, artist, dinosaur enthusiast, and creator of the great webcomic Billy the Dunce, has sent along this awesome take on my Halloween logo. If I’m not mistaken, this is my first official piece of unsolicited fan art!
Be sure to check out Jason’s site, and follow him on Twitter.

Mattel to do Back to the Future toys? (Update: confirmed?)
This is completely a rumor, and as always, consider the source. But Shocker Toys just posted on their Facebook page that Mattel got the rights to Back to the Future.
BTTF Classics? Is it even possible? If they really did get the license, I would expect the same 6″, 12″ and Mego treatment Ghostbusters got.
Anyway, thanks to Novelty of Toy a Day for pointing this out to me.
UPDATE 1: Word from a reliable source is that this came from a Universal Studios press release, and that while it does say Mattel got the toy rights, that doesn’t mean we’re necessarily getting action figures. Trying to find the press release now; if anyone has it and wants to forward it to poe AT poeghostal.com, credited or anonymously, I’d be mighty grateful.
UPDATE 2: More or less confirmed here.
